Some words of wisdom that Dr. Ricardo Vilalta (at University of Houston) shared in class the other day:

If you claim to know something, you will be seen as the expert

Therefore, be honest about what you really know

Be willing to learn and admit your lack of knowledge on certain areas

Don't claim you are superior to others

Don't give in to the pressure of winning over others

I like this advice, and I would think that if you've been burned enough times by not having followed it, you might figure it out yourself - if only to save yourself embarrassment.
